Omokri said poverty exists in states like Enugu and Ebonyi state, thus ‘End bad governance’ agitators should take their planned August protest there.
The diaspora-based social media personality wrote on his verified X page on Friday, July 26: “According to the latest Multidimensional Poverty Index released by the National Bureau of Statistics, Lagos and Ondo have the lowest poverty rates in Nigeria. Please see the attached image.
“So, if this protest is really about poverty and hardship, then it should be held where there is poverty and hardship, not where there is prosperity and fellowship. “You cannot go to the sea to fight desertification. And you should not protest in Lagos against poverty that exists in Ebonyi, Enugu and Bayelsa. Go and protest where the poverty is.”
